Baking For My Sailor

Today has been a great day. Today was one of the only days of the week that I didn't have visits with friends during the day time, so I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and bake my Sailor his favorite cookies: Snickerdoodles. :D

Since I do not have my cook books around (they are finally on a moving truck ready to be shipped to our new home. Yes, I too am confused why they cannot just leave right after they pack up your stuff, I found this really great recipe online. Seriously, I loved the outcome of using this recipe. One thing I really liked about the recipe is that you chill the pan for 10-15 minutes instead of greasing the pan, and it worked well! (Sidenote: I did do two things different. One, I slowly mixed in the dry and wet ingredients, and two, I baked them for fifteen minutes not ten, and they came out perfect!

So after the cookies cooled off, I put them inside a gallon size bag, went to the post office, and sent them on their way to meet up with my hubby, with an encouraging note. I reminded him of Mark 12:31 "to love your neighbor as yourself," with orders to share these cookies with guys that haven't got much mail or felt much love. Hope he listens. :D

What are you doing to reach out in love to those who don't receive much love? Baking cookies is such a simple gesture, think outside the box! :D

Our ♥ Story: Beginning July 16, 2010

Hi I'm Jasmine. I'm a sailor's wife, as my hubby is in the Navy. My husband and I got married almost 4 years ago {!!), on 07.16.2010, which is the most special day that is held closely to both of our hearts, as we both married our best friend. Adam is a sailor aboard the USS John C. Stennis. I love all things crafty and nautical {as you can tell}. I also love to craft, sew, read, and cook in my spare time. We are a very active couple who love going to baseball games {primarily our Angels}, the beach, hiking, and taking our travel trailer out and about. We love God and we try our best to live according to the will He has planned for our lives. I love my sailor!! ♥
